Students learn about music theory and learn the basics of pitch, rhythm, and tone colour.
They are also introduced to singing, the keyboard, the guitar, the bass and the drum kit whilst practising and performing songs, both together as ensembles and by themselves for solo performances.
Students who play their own instrument are also encouraged to use during class time and performances.

The MUSIC PROJECT - It Is an extra-curricular opportunity for students at our school who are passionate about playing and/or making music, singing and also interested in developing their performance skills.
The aim of MUSIC PROJECT is to support these students by providing weekly access to a Music teacher outside of their regular classes, as well as the freedom to collaborate on various projects with like-minded students from other year groups.
In addition to working on repertoire for their own enjoyment, being a part of Music Project provides students with the opportunity to perform throughout the year at fortnightly Celebration Assemblies, MADD night, Year 6 Orientation Day, Open Night and other school events.
